An ultra clear and light yellow colored beer from a clear glass bottle. Fairly small white head forms and then disappears.
The smell is strongly of lime and ginger. I know that it is ginger because I am mildly allergic to the stuff and it started my nose to run about two minutes after the first sniff. Smells mostly like ginger ale.
The taste begins tart with an unexpected taste of vanilla and a mild ginger burn in the throat. A bit of sweetness appears after the first sip and this begins to taste like a shandy made from ginger ale and Michelob Ultra. For all intents and purposes this IS a Ginger Ale Shandy make with Michelob Ultra taste wise.
The mouthfeel is better than its parent beer, probably just swimming in Maltodextrin boosting.
Drinkable like a soda and not really a beer. I could be more kind to this beer if they called it a shandy and given a hint they put ginger in it so I could have avoided sniffing it. A beer for those not wanting any annoying beer taste in their mouths.

25 FL. OZ. can
Served in an imperial nonic pint glass
This beer pours straw colored and clear. it is topped with an inch of white head that leaves spotty lacing.
Light lime and fruit aroma.
Light lime flavor. At least this version of ultra has some flavor.
Thin bodied with a dry mouthfeel
Michelob Ultra is one of the worst abominations ever labeled as beer. At least this has a little flavor.

Pours a clear barely golden yellow with a head that is like champagne and disappeared fast. Smell is lime,grains,some type of fruit(probably prickly pear) Taste is delivered clean and neat with a proportionate amount of the adjuncts which are discernible by the individual fruit. Again feels well put together,crisp,refreshing,well carbonated. This beer, being organic would not be possible without the huge buying power of InBev Overall for a light lager with adjuncts I will rate accordingly to the style. This newer version says LIME & PRICKLY PEAR CACTUS. It is also 100% organic-And the ABV is 4.0 instead of 4.2

Purchased as a six-pack of bottles from Publix for $8.99. Poured into a pils glass. Posting this review from some notes I wrote down a couple of days ago, but only now could post to BA.
L - Extremely pale yellow with no head and minimal lacing.
S - Smells of corn flakes and faint lime. Almost sweet.
T - Lime is pretty upfront, followed by an almost artificial prickly pear. Slight hint of dragonfruit and light hay.
F - Lightly carbonated and very light body. A step above La Croix. Refreshing.
O - I don't hate this beer, but I find it a bit boring - mostly due to the very light body, unable to retain a lot of flavor. If it wasn't a light beer, I feel like this would be a home run for the Michelob lineup. Glad to have finally tried it, though.

Amazing beer, but in a very specific way. Very refreshing, though perhaps not the highest quality beer on the market. You're not going to impress your boss, but if you're having a nice afternoon kick-back, or even a summertime party, this is a really good option.

Solid American “light lager” with added “fruit” i.e.the prickly pear. I enjoyed this and suggest anyone disregard any rating that suggests it’s not “real beer”.
